The Spirit of the Baggy Green
The spirit of the baggy green
Is something so hard to explain
It could be the many World Cups
Or the Ashes that we've claimed
Or perhaps the cheeky wink of Dougie
Or the Don's sheer mastery
Maybe even Binga's magic with the ball
Or even Warnie's mystery
What about Punter's centuries?
Or even the outrageous ways of Gilly?
Whatever the spirit of the baggy green is,
I know I've got it in me.
What do you mean you don't know who Shane Warne is?
What do you mean you don't know who Shane Warne is?
He's ONLY the highest wicket taker in test cricket.
Remember those two nurses he "played" with?
"no"
The tragic innings that he was caught for 99?
"no"
Or his magical bowling in the 2006/07 Ashes series?
"no"
Or what about his 700th amazing wicket?
"No"
Or that gem of a ball known as the 'Gatting Ball' or 'The Ball of the Century'?
"No, I don't know who Shane Warne is"
I don't know what planet you've been living on mate,
But I certainly don't want to go there.
I mean,
Who could live a boring life without knowing who Shane Warne is?
Very soon I will make more poems and songs about cricket. Until then, vote for your favourite out of the poems I have wrote so far.
